Yu Ruyan shot Xu Chang'an an exasperated look, said her goodbyes, and turned to leave.
Xu Chang'an watched Yu Ruyan go until her figure disappeared down the alley.
"The Demon Path is fraught with hardship, and the journey is a lonely one. It's good to have a friend or two!"
Xu Chang'an sighed wistfully.
Then, he picked up the Storage Bag Yu Ruyan had given him.
'I wonder what kind of gift Yu Ruyan gave me?'
'Knowing Yu Ruyan, that little rich girl, and since we haven't seen each other in years... she's got to have given me at least a Middle-grade Magical Artifact this time!'
Xu Chang'an opened the Storage Bag and looked inside, only to freeze in astonishment.
